The King had a beautiful daughter, who used to enjoy taking a bath during the hot summers, in the picturesque lake near the forest on the edge of the King's palace grounds. It was her habit to finish her bath and have a jugful of sweet milk in a jug made of pure gold.
One day when she was finishing her usual jug of milk she found herself being watched by a handsome prince standing in the midst of the trees. Embarrassed by her inadequate bathing clothing, the resourceful Princess poured the sugared milk in front of her to form an makeshift curtain to hide her body, while one of the maids rushed to cover her with a dress.
And from here, a legend was born. The sugared milk (dudh) poured down the mountainside and continued to flow in torrents as a tribute to the eternal virtue and humility of the Princess of the Ghats. The Dudh Sagar (Sea of Milk) continues to flow to this day.
